However, Pier and pier cap at the beginning of the section will not be a part of scope of works defined in this contract. Piers/abutments at the end of the above-mentioned sections will be a part of scope of work defined in this contract.
- The Design and Build Contractor has to design the Viaduct ensuring a minimum statutory vertical clearance of 5.5 metres to the Metro structure above the existing road level. Sectional elevation of the typical elevated viaduct drawing enclosed with the tender/bid documents shall be referred for the same.
- Whole length of the viaduct has to be designed for double line standard gauge track as shown in the GAD. System is planned with end evacuation and 25 KV AC OHE traction. The tenderer/bidder will have to use a Segmental Box girder integrated with the parapet (Segmental box girder is Maha-Metro’s preferred choice).
- Some spans will have to be designed to accommodate the emergency track crossover, special track layouts (e.g. pocket track) (Approximate locations if any are shown in the GAD for reference).
Pier arms for platforms:
- The D & B contractor has to design and construct foundation (open foundation/pile, pile cap, pier and pier arm (along with pedestal and end restrainer for platform level girder) to support the station platform.
- The pier arm shall be so designed that it shall allow viaduct through the station portion in a station length of approximately 77.5m. Details of the station portion will be furnished to the successful bidder; suitable assumptions may be made at this stage.
- The GAD is enclosed with this document to facilitate the design of support structure taking into account the prevalent code, manual and best practices. It may be noted that the station support structure will have to conform to the acceptable deflection and vibration norms and the viaduct spans will be constrained in terms of spans.
- The location of piers and the span arrangement suggested by the contractor have to be approved by the Engineer before execution. The contractor shall not have any claims if any changes are suggested by the engineer. Following load should be considered for designing the pier arm which will support the station platform beam as well as deck slab.
- Floor loads viz self-weight, live load of 5 KN/sqm, floor finish, platform screen door etc.
- Connecting bridge support beam loads – be furnished after freezing the station concept plan.
- Roof column loads- approx. 15T (Vertical), 2MT (Horizontal in each direction) and Transverse moment of 2 MT-M to be considered. Detailed loading diagrams will be provided at the detail design stage after freezing the station concept plan.
- I-Girders/Beams will be seated on the extended pier arms.
- The present RFP includes a pier arm for the stations at platform level. It means the foundation, pier and pier arm for the station area are to be designed and constructed, taking into account station load. A typical cross section and size of pier arm is enclosed along with this document.
